One of Spongebob’s freakiest episodes for me was “Alone”, when everyone on Bikini Bottom disappears, then Spongebob tries to live everyone’s life, but the scariest moment for me was when he goes crazy and talks to a Patrick puppet made out of meat. Edit: the episode name is actually “Gone”

1:11 Quick note; the test was on his race/species, not necessarily his appearance. SpongeBob and Patrick were at first denied entry not because they're yellow and pink, but because they're not giant pacific octopi like Squidward is, but they managed to breach security because Patrick's rancid breath made one of the guards faint on the button that opens and closes the gate. Just a reminder, they were only stopping by to deliver an apology cake and ask Squidward to move back into their neighborhood and they wouldn't even let them in to do that because Tentacle Acres is segregated and unless you're a giant octopus, you're not even allowed to visit.

[@AkiraStrix94]

I don't give a shit if anyone agrees with me, but I'm gonna say this anyway: Real life is nothing but a big, depressing mess, no matter how you slice it. If someone has an enjoyable life, they should consider themselves extremely lucky, because let's face it, they are. I have tried to improve myself for the past 3 years. And, lo and behold, just when I thought things were getting better, WHAM! All it took was for someone I knew to ruin literally everything for me within a few hours. Everything that made me happy was immediately gone, and I had to start all over again. It was really bad, and I just kept losing faith as I kept trying. I'm still stuck at square one, still constantly trying to improve myself, and much to my own dismay, nothing is working. At least I tried, but even when I did, it still didn't work. I'm even more depressed than I was 3 years ago. I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade by saying what I just did, if you're able to improve yourself in ways you thought you couldn't, that's fine. You just go right ahead. That didn't work for me, and I'm right back where I started.

I recently fell into a depressive episode, and when examining my feelings I was brought right back to this episode. I realized I was feeling bored, but at an existential "every day will be the same forever" kind of level. What you said about "the only way to find happiness is to disrupt things" really hits home for me. Everything is exciting in the beginning and then quickly gets boring. Anyway, I started seeing a psychologist about this and was diagnosed with ADHD. It makes a lot of sense because basically it means you are deficient in dopamine and feel chronically understimulated. Everything in my life makes a lot more sense now.

"Isn't it depressing that once we find a happy moment in our lives, it means we will just go back to being sad again?" I disagree with this, I actually find it comforting. Knowing that the next sad moment could be right around the corner, it should make you value the happy one you have. Any one person would want to be happy all their life, as they would sad all their life. We usually identify happiness as the good thing, the emotion we strive for, the ultimate goal in life, however I believe that it is just half of the puzzle. Life is never a calm puddle, but a roaring ocean, that is vast, complex, and constantly changing. If you can't keep up with the change in tides, you will find yourself lost at sea. Does life really paint a pretty picture if it only consists of one color?

[@majaquinn]

I like that actually. If you think of a movie, it’s not full of happiness. There are moments where the protagonist has a really hard time, and they need to get past an obstacle. Whenever they do, everything gets better. I always like to live my life like I’m in a movie, hence why the sad times are good, because I know it’ll all get better

When I was younger, I understood the episode as Squidward missing the spontaneity and bizzare moments that Spongebob & Patrick brought to his life. Even though their shenanigans could be a headache, but it made Squidward's life more interesting. Squidward likes to think that a prim and proper lifestyle is for him and that unconventional activities are beneath him, but has occasionally found himself gaining more enjoyment from what he's seen as a "waste of time." It's this delusion of grandeur & rejection of what would truly make him happy that drive his morose self.

You could also interpret this episode as a lesson on comfort and stagnation. Squidward thinks he will be more at home with other octopi, but as we see, he doesn't vibe with them completely. He might have similar things in common with them, but ultimately he wants to enjoy certain things outside of the community, like playing with the reef blower. This is true for people who have experienced either living abroad or adapting to a culture. There are things that are taboo or accepted in every community. Squidward is in that "in-between" stage.

I think another lesson here is that because happiness is subjective to your environment/state of mind, it's important to acknowledge that happiness can come from anywhere, as long as we seek it out. Although this episode shows that a constant state of happiness is impossible, it also shows that, through human will, a constant state of sadness is also impossible. We'll always be searching for the next thing to make us happy, and that's a good thing because to our occasional surprise, we might find that something that which was once detestable, can actually be enjoyable (such as Squidward hating the leaf blowers, only to use one for fun later). In a strange poetic sense, hardship (in this case sadness and depression) can bring open-mindedness, which can then open the door to newfound happiness. In that way, I think this episode Does have a happy ending because Squidward is able to find that new door to happiness.

My sentiments exactly. Buddha had a similar journey. However, Buddha was born in Squidville and only later was exposed one step at a time to the horrors of life. It was after this exposure where the Buddha was existentially scorched into action that lead him to nurture is enlightenment.

I really like the "state of happiness" vs "finding moments of joy" stuff. I've struggled with this for a long time. Every time I feel like I have to be happy, either because I'm looking for a state of happiness or I'm forcing myself to be happy (or both) it makes me feel worse and I feel like something is wrong with me for not being happy. I still struggle with things like holidays where everyone expects you to be happy all day, but overall I really like being able to find joy in certain moments, even as small as driving home listening to music I love with food I'm bringing home. It's also nice allowing myself to feel sad sometimes and acknowledging I will have sad moments but I'll also have happy moments, it's okay to feel sad because I'll eventually feel happy again later. It's helped me so much.

[@N3RDYG0GGLES]

I can really appreciate this episode, but it’s funny that I also end up taking a bit of a Spongebob approach by wanting to add slightly more optimism to it. Or not optimism, but hope. A way to prevent us from using your unhappy conclusion to further spiral into depression. That bit of hope is the fact that taking pleasure in the little things or in changes of routine and appreciating what positives you can find around you is incredibly important. The way to not grow numb to routine and lose your passions is complicated, but it does involve making sure not to end up in a constantly repeating cycle. Burnout can happen with almost any activity if you’re unlucky and while constant happiness is unattainable, you can still generally be happy by accepting the lows that come with the highs and not trying to find that constant unchanging cycle.

[@raveng8217]
